In previous versions, you could do that. In Commissioner Mode, simply go to the league set-up screen for whatever minor league you are editing, and on the page that shows the teams and affiliates, there's a drop-down menu that enables you to change the affiliate to any team you wish. The players on that team's roster become the property of the new organization.

Transferring rosters (if you need to) are a little trickier, but in Commissioner Mode, you can "trade" rosters by forcing trades between different organizations. You can trade five players for five players at a time, which means five forced trades for a 25 man roster switch. Computer managed GM's may squawk at unfair trades when you swap studs for duds, but by forcing trades, everyone gets back where they belong.

So it works like this: Say you want to flip-flop AA Pensacola from a Cincinnati affiliate to a Cubs affiliate, with AA Tennessee becoming a Reds affiliate. However you want the Reds to keep their AA roster and the Cubs to keep their AA roster. Once you change the affiliates on the league set-up page, you will need to force trades until all players are back in the right organizations. If someone has an easier way to do it, I would love to know because I trade affiliates like this all the time.

I assume that OOTP 18 will work the same.
